“He is cutting his family trip short so that he can continue the ongoing work of restoring accountability and trust in the Chicago Police Department,” said Emanuel’s spokeswoman, Kelley Quinn.

Emanuel has come under attack by critics — including the Rev. Al Sharpton, who called for his resignation — for allegedly playing politics to save his own skin while his city is torn apart by the shootings.

For example, the mayor was accused of keeping a controversial police dashcam video under wraps for an entire year so he could get re-elected in April.

The October 2014 video showed white Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting black 17-year-old Laquan McDonald 16 times, continuing to pump bullets into him even as the teen lay in the middle of the street.

McDonald, who was armed with a knife, was veering away from officers when shot.

Then on Saturday, 19-year-old engineering student Quintonio LeGrier was shot dead by cops along with innocent mother of five Bettie Jones, 55.

The tragedy unfolded after LeGrier threatened his father with an aluminum bat in the family’s home, cops and relatives said.

The father called police and then Jones, who lived downstairs. He asked her to open the door when officers arrived, both families said.

When cops got to the apartment building at around 4:30 a.m., LeGrier charged down the stairs at them still brandishing the bat, police said.

Jones’ relatives said they believe she was standing behind LeGrier, near her apartment’s door, as cops opened fire, killing them both.

“The situation was not precipitated by the police, and these officers feel as badly about this as they could possibly feel,” said James Pasco, the executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, which represents the cops.
